There are not many restaurants in Nocelle, but we recommend this one. Good food, and they need your support. We stopped there for a light lunch of bread, beer and caprese salad. They were very gracious about seating and serving. The bread and salad were delicious, and the view over the sea and cliffs is marvelous. They serve a full... More

We stayed at Casa Cuccaro in Nocelle for 6 nights, May 6 - 12, 2013. Since we had been traveling in Italy for 5 weeks, we just wanted to rest and hike, and enjoy food other than pizza, bistecca, and pasta Carbonara. After 5 weeks of nice, but heavy Italian food, Santa Croce was a god-sent! I had salad of... More

If staying in Nocelle above Positano--I can think of no better place to eat, The view from the window tables is stunning, the food good, and prices are reasonable. A typical family restaurant with one of the best locations in the world. We stayed at the close by B&B "Casa Cuccaro" and your hosts will normally secure you one of... More

Stopped here after our hike of Path of Gods. The food is great and the service was good. The view overlooking Positano is fantastic.

We try to check out this place for a drink after a long path of gods hike. It was empty, and full of flies. The restaurant have some nice tables by the window with panoramic view, but the waiter did not allow us to take one saying that he has to prepare them for the evening (2-30 PM). After such... More

My mom and I ate here 2 nights because we were staying in Nocelle. The food was excellent, and the prices were reasonable. I loved the friendly atmosphere, the brothers serving food, and the mother cooking in the kitchen. If you are coming up from Positano, get here before the sun sets, because the views are incredible. The sea food... More

上午走完the footpaths of the gods,正愁没水没粮,有此惊喜发现。老板儿子接待,推荐复活节羊肉,确实很不错。Amalfi地区特色海鲜面scialatielli也很好,柔软一些,更适合小朋友。 Sina weibo:gene_ou

This trattoria, run carefully by a family, will give you nice, fresh food in a lovely atmosphere. I particularly enjoyed the grilled vegetable antipasto and the homemade ravioli filled with ricotta. The portions were quite generous. Half of the delight is finding this place in the tiny passageways of Nocelle. It's worth a trip up the mountain to experience it.

My husband and I stayed at the Grand Hotel Il Saraceno on the Amalfi coast for our honeymoon. We heard about this little gem of a restaurant from a local man during our visit to Positano. It's worth the trip! The atmosphere was quaint with exceptionally good food and service. The restaurant chefs are husband and wife. Their three sons... More

This is a family run restaurant in Nocelle with a great vista, excellent service and straightforward fresh food. Its well worth using this as a stop on the Pathway of the Gods walk from Nocelle to Bomerano. If you are traveling from Bomerano to Nocelle then you can apparently see to bus coming up the hill from Positano and Montepertuso... More
